prop the hatch up w/ a 2x4 or something. undo the 2 screws on the body that hold the shock bracket and then pop off the shocks..

this is kinda common sense

You don't even have to take the 2 screws out. Take a look at them, they have a metal clip on the end that runs side to side, pry it up with a small flat screw driverand pullthe strut off the ball. Pretty easy. I have a set I just took off, I can take a picture showing you how if you think you need it. Good luck
